Barack
Obama the man is more of a mystery to Americans than any president in modern
history, thanks to suppressed documents and unexplained gaps in his personal
and intellectual life. Now a new documentary seeks to answer the question, “Was
the multicultural tale of Obama’s goat-herding Kenyan father only a fairy tale
to obscure a Marxist agenda irreconcilable with American values?”
Based on two years of research, interviews, newly unearthed
footage and photos, and the writings of Communist Party organizer and
propagandist Frank
Marshall Davis, Dreams from My Real Father: A
Story of Reds and Deception is an alternate theory to Obama's
autobiography. The 95-minute video from
Highway 61 Entertainment weaves together the facts with re-creations and “reasoned
speculation” in an effort to solve the mystery of Obama’s origin. As director/writer/producer
Joel Gilbert puts it, the conclusion is that “the ‘Birthers’ have been on a
fool’s errand. To understand Obama’s plans for America, the question is not ‘Where’s
the birth certificate,’ but ‘Who’s the real father?’”
The film makes the case that Davis is Obama's real father,
both biologically and ideologically, and that he indoctrinated Obama during the
latter’s formative years with a political grounding in Marxism and an anti-white
world view. It asserts, as Gilbert says in an interview,
that Obama's election “was the culmination of an American socialist movement
that Frank Marshall Davis nurtured in Chicago and Hawaii, and has been quietly
infiltrating the US economy, universities, and media for decades.”
The documentary includes Obama's indoctrination in Marxism
by Davis, his college years, his work as a Saul
Alinsky-style community organizer, his close association with the Bill
Ayers family and Rev.
Jeremiah Wright, even his little-known role in the subprime mortgage
crisis, all the way through his campaigns and into the presidency. “My
mission in life,” says the Obama narrator, “is to fulfill the dreams of my ‘ideological
father’ – to replace capitalism with Communism.”
The film begins with a comparison of the startling physical similarities
between Obama and Frank Marshall Davis: facial features, stature and build, even
their voices and laughs. It moves on to a description of Davis’ involvement
with the Communist Party of the USA, which was founded in Chicago. The CPUSA
targeted useful American journalists like Davis, who was deeply involved an
astounding number of Communist front groups and wrote for all their
publications. He was assigned to recruit blacks into the party – the goal was
to target them, rub salt in their wounds, stir up class resentment, and
mobilize their discontent to take power. In addition to being a poet and
propagandist, Davis started a camera club and specialized in nude photography.
Enter Obama’s “Gramps,” grandfather Stanley Dunham on his
mother Ann’s side, who was a “company man” for the CIA, tasked with recruiting
black students against Communism. One
of those students was Obama’s purported father, Barack Hussein Obama, who arrived
from Kenya and was greeted by Gramps himself. The Dunhams later moved to
Hawaii, where a very unhappy Ann began hanging out with poet/photographer
Davis, who had moved there to recruit blacks for the CPUSA. He ultimately got
her to pose nude for him – and eventually, according to the documentary, also got
her pregnant.
After his initial shock and anger over the illicit affair,
Stanley Dunham realized he would lose his CIA security clearance if it was
discovered that his daughter was pregnant by Communist Davis. Abortion, illegal
in Hawaii, wasn’t an option. Dunham decided to carry out an elaborate
deception. He needed a black man to marry Ann and legitimize the birth, so he
turned to Kenyan student Obama, who needed the money. But Obama was already a
married man and father, so he agreed to go along with the plan only if the
birth certificate stated “Father unknown.”
Months later Ann was granted an uncontested divorce, married
Indonesian Barry Soetero and moved to Jakarta. Young Barry grew up there, eventually
was told the truth about his real father, and spent some time with “Uncle
Frank” Davis in Hawaii during his formative years. By the time Obama went to
Occidental College on a full affirmative-action scholarship, he was already a
committed Marxist.
Going to school later in Chicago, Obama was influenced by
professors like Richard Cloward with his “crisis strategy” of economic sabotage
to collapse capitalism. He met terrorists Bill Ayers and Bernardine
Dohrn, who realized Obama’s value to their movement, and learned the
strategies of “community organization” – or more precisely, “community
agitation.”
Thanks to his connections, Ayers’ wealthy father Thomas and black
nationalist patron Khalid
al-Mansour, Obama was accepted at Harvard Law School and became president
of the Harvard Law Review without actually having written a single law review.
He moved on to become a training director for the Alinskyite group ACORN.
The documentary goes on to detail Obama’s political life,
his involvement with Project Vote and the subprime mortgage crisis, his shady
backing from slumlord patron Tony Rezko, and his support from another
red-diaper baby, David
Axelrod, who ultimately helped him shape his presidential campaign message.
Once in office, Obama began carrying out the socialist blueprint – centralizing
power in the government.
When asked in an interview
why it matters who Barak Obama's father
really is, filmmaker Joel Gilbert replied,
Obama sold himself to America as the multi-cultural ideal, a man who
stood above politics. His father was a goat herder from Kenya, he would bring
people together, so it went… [P]romoting a false family background to hide an
agenda irreconcilable with American values is a totally unacceptable
manipulation of the electorate.
The closing image of the film is a waving Communist flag,
suggesting that Obama’s agenda – to make America socialist without ever
realizing how it happened – is flourishing. “These are my dreams,” the Obama impersonator finishes, “the dreams from my real father.”
